How Main Street, Cleator prices moved
The chart tracks the median Main Street, Cleator house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2001 to 2023. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 5 | £39,000 | £71,047 |
| 2020s | 3 | £55,000 | £56,196 |
The highest yearly median on record for Main Street, Cleator is £74,950 in 2006; the lowest is £6,500 in 2001. Across the full 23-year record the cash median has moved from £6,500 to £65,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £12,747, so the real change over the whole record is +451.0% — about +8.07% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +8.4% in cash against -32.6% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Main Street, Cleator values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Main Street, Cleator is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 108 | 92.3% | £45,000 | £5,000 – £160,000 |
| Semi-detached | 4 | 3.4% | £45,500 | £45,000 – £62,000 |
| Detached | 3 | 2.6% | £165,000 | £85,000 – £220,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 2 | 1.7% | £39,000 | £39,000 – £64,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Main Street, Cleator
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 117 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 117 | 100.0% | £50,000 |
| New build | 1 | 0.9% | £85,000 |
| Existing home | 116 | 99.1% | £48,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +77.1%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 8 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.
Section 09
How Main Street, Cleator compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Main Street, Cleator sits below that national figure — -68.3%.
Within Cleator the street ranks 24 of 26 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £73,500 (-32.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £716 per square metre, across 27 of the 117 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £5,000 to £220,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Main Street, Cleator?
The median price paid in Main Street, Cleator across every sale on the register is £50,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Main Street, Cleator?

In cash, the median rose +8.4% between 2007 and 2023. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -32.6%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Main Street, Cleator house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £74,950, set in 2006. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Main Street, Cleator?
